The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1887-09-14

College about six young men on al
average could be educated for what it
costs to educate one at the South Caro-
lima University. Have not these six
young men at least as much right to con-
sidcration as the ono who goes to the
University, and are they not likely to be
Just as useful to their community and
State? Why then should South Carolina
so completely neglect The half dozen and
so cnrctully provide for tho one?
US for the "hroad culture" that CD. "
| so Insists upon il ont State University, I
think it more than likely that the culture
obtained liihcr in the Michigan or
mississippi Colleges would be quite as
broad, more practical and liberal, and
perhaps less egotistic and supercIious.
The Michigan College has twenty-five
professors and tutors, tho Mississippi
twenty-five, whilO Our State University
mas only fifteen or sixteen in all, incud-
ing the literary. classic and law depart
ments. Which, then, is best cuuiDped
IN the way OF teachers? While agric,tl-
turo rs tie ltcdounluant feature in both
those colleges, taey both teach q certain
amount of E@arlY everything, cXccpt law,
tnu&ht III our State University, uuitc
enough, no doubt, for "broad culture, {"
alu Tor 2il practical purposes as well.
Great stress js Laid by 3D." on the
prNyt'c2' mechanical education that l4ay
=" obt0lpe' ~ the State University, and
re mnies bitter complaint of some one
who 1t seems has doniod this. He speaks
with triumphant pride, as did "Dixie"
before him, OF the thirty 20 forty Young
mn in the work shop with coats of,
buSl!y engaged in Curpcntcring and other
mechanical work. Now if training in
this oranch is so excellent, | can only

Died in Her Colin.

Another case Of premature burial worthy
OF being anNlyzcd in tue realistic manner
Of Iola has occurred in France. An elder
ly woman who lived in ST. Oucn. in Rou.
ric, recently fell ill, and us her friends
tnought, died. The funeral took place,
and as the grNvc.diggcr was preparing to
lover the collin into the earth he heard
moans issuing from inside the lugubrious
four boards inclosing the presumed corpse,
The aravc.diggcr, half frightened at the
probable ghost which his imagination con,
Jurcd up, and partly awed by tile require,
ments enacted by the law in circumstances
such as those in which he found himself
placed, lcIt the coffin in care OF the mourn
srs and went oil with his sumbrc story to
NJ. lie Marie. That rural dignitary, having
donncd his scarf of Office and summoned
thc village doctor, proceeded to the local
GODS acre. The coffin was then opened,
and 1t was discovered that the woman had
lust died from fright, having awakened
from trance to find herself hcmned in be-
tween tho terrible deal planks.

Cleveland ON Mixed Schools.

lnQmring as to the truth of report that

schools III that State. Replying to this
lrquiry, President Cleveland wrote:
The only bill that / know of being
passed "ud approved on that subject,
WhlIo / was Governor, Was one affecting
the city OF New York, aud had precisely
the contrary effect that is, the purpose
and object was to retain the coIored
scLoo.a separate and distinct from those

bury, of New York city, | think, drew
Lho biii, and Prof. Rusin, superintendent
ri co.orcd schools, and Rev. DIR. Der
rick, boz. oG New York city, advocated
L strongly. The school board Of New
} urA city had determined to consolidate
'holr schools with the ',Uitc schools, and
the bull took III ont Of the control OF the
board, SO that it should not lie done It
was strongly urged before me that sepa-
rat aCLoois were OF much more benefit

city OF New York colOrcd schools are
separately maintained to-day by virtue

Experiments and Experiences in Attaining
Very Great Heights.

very Great heights.
The Charlotte Chronicle has Just been
reading of the recent attempt by some
French aeronauts to reach great heights
i'll their balloons. The attempt did not
realize any particular scientic result
The balloon in which the ascent was
madc reached an altitude of over 10000
ieet without producing any bad effects
up0n the occupants, except passing
imntnesS felt by one Of them, who, how
over, very quickly recovered, This ex-
pertinent was the means of bringing to
light the almost forgotten fact that when
Il similar attempt was made twelve years
ago, resulting in the attaining of an alti-
tude of %, 900 feet, three out of the four
aCrOnauts suCcumbed to the strange at
mOsphcric conditions and died before
they could descend. Perhaps many
other bold voyagers have gone to simi-
IA height and returned safely. One Mr..
Giaishcr, according to his own state
ment, re"t ed an altitude of $4,000 feet
ltlc highest ever attained by any one),
pUt, becoming paruy mcoL scious when
ut height of about 2T,OOO feet, and
'oSIn9 tic power to move his limbs, sank

companion was similarly affected, though

cord that oponcd the cscapc-valve.
Lncir ascent was considered great
achievement in aerial navigation.
From the mcagrc reports made upon
tnis subject, it would appear that but
few ore dangerously affected before pass
ing the line indicating an altitude of
20, 600 feet. Something seems to depend
on the season in which the ascension is
made and upon the atmospheric condi-
tons at the start. Above the Himalayas
and the Andes, heights OF about 10000
,cct have several times been attained
without any inconvenience. In these in
stances, however, the ascent has always
been very gradual. Could slower rate
of ascent be made practical it might be
that the great height OF nine or ten miles
would be attained in safety-at least
without dancer 70 life
